The Red Raiders missed 10 straight shots during two different stretches in game

WACO — Josh Gray jumped into the air, stole the ball in the middle of the court and headed toward the rim. Texas Tech was up by one point eight minutes into Saturday’s game against Baylor, and the 6-foot freshman point guard, trying to give his team a spark, soared in for a dunk. Instead, he slammed the ball off the back of the rim and out of bounds.

Texas Tech anxious to gauge progress in Big 12's second half 02/09/13 - 4:43pm

Tech tips off against Baylor at 3 p.m. Saturday in Waco

Since the first day he took over as Texas Tech’s interim basketball coach back in October, Chris Walker has stressed he wouldn’t set a win-loss goal for his young team. Instead his aim from the start has been getting the Red Raiders to play their best basketball at the end of the season — to peak in March. When Tech tips off against Baylor at 3 p.m. Saturday in Waco, the game should present a barometer for that process, a chance to gauge how far the squad has come with the second half of Big 12 Conference play set to begin.

Texas Tech notes: Walk-ons provide spark for Red Raiders in loss 02/06/13 - 1:47am

Sophomores Luke Adams and Clark Lammert combined for nine first-half points

Walk-ons provide spark Tech found offense from an unlikely source on Tuesday night during a 68-59 loss to No. 13 Kansas State. Namely, its two walk-ons. Sophomores Luke Adams and Clark Lammert, who have played sparingly this season, combined for nine first-half points, with both hitting a 3-pointer and providing spurts of strong defense. Lammert has played in the last three games, but it was the first significant action for Adams since playing seven minutes against Baylor in early January.

Huge rebounding disparity too much to overcome for Texas Tech on loss to No. 13 Kansas State 02/06/13 - 1:44am

Jordan Tolbert led Tech with 19 points, but the Red Raiders were dominated on the glass in third straight loss

Texas Tech managed to take care of the ball against No. 13 Kansas State better than it had all season. Grabbing it off the rim was another matter. The Red Raiders were dominated on the glass by the more physical Wildcats and couldn’t come up with buckets when they needed them most in a 68-59 loss Tuesday, their third straight and sixth in the last seven games.

One of nation's top unsigned basketball players to visit Lubbock 02/05/13 - 5:05pm

Chris Walker may still have an interim tag in front of his name, but that hasn't stopped the Texas Tech basketball coach from working hard on the recruiting trail. As a result of that effort, Keith Frazier, a five-star guard out of Dallas Kimball, is expected to make an official visit to Lubbock later this month when Tech hosts Oklahoma State, the Avalanche-Journal has learned. Frazier, a 6-foot-5, 185-pound hyper-athletic guard, is the 22nd ranked player in the country, according to ESPN, and he is one of the top remaining unsigned players in the 2013 class.

Hunter Weishuhn dominating on the glass while leading Seminole to cusp of district title 02/05/13 - 10:53am

The 6-foot-7 senior forward averages 13.4 rebounds per game for the Indians

To shake hands with Hunter Weishuhn is to understand a basketball has little chance of escaping his grasp. The 6-foot-7 senior forward at Seminole latches on with a vice-grip strength hold, finally releasing as the bones in your hand prepare to cry for mercy. Those hands are a major reason Weishuhn is perhaps the most dominant rebounder on the South Plains. He has grabbed 13.4 boards per game this season while leading the Indians to a perfect 7-0 record in District 2-3A. Seminole can clinch at least a share of the district title with a win at 7:30 p.m. today against Andrews.

Red Raiders searching for first win against a ranked opponent since 2009

As Texas Tech coach Chris Walker spoke to his team following its loss to West Virginia on Saturday, he promised the Red Raiders they could expect one thing to ring true when they watched the Super Bowl the following day. “I told these guys the team with the most turnovers will probably lose the game,” Walker said, “because that’s how crucial turnovers are.”

Texas Tech in need of scoring punch in the backcourt 02/04/13 - 1:33am

Ty Nurse couldn’t have asked for much more out of his major-college debut. Back on Nov. 11, 2011, the Canadian born guard turned in one of the best performances ever by a Red Raider playing for the first time with the team. Bombing 3-point goal after 3-point goal — six in all — Nurse went on to score 29 points in a season-opening win against Troy. Flash forward to Saturday, during Tech’s 77-61 loss to West Virginia, and there were once again flashes of a player capable of producing instant offense.
